Roasted Red Pepper Tapenade I am so excited about cooking on the new grill! I'm also loving this new recipe because we get to grill a whole fish. The trick to having this dish turn out beautifully is to use a grill basket. I got mine at Sur la Table, but they are easy to find online too. Just make sure you generously oil the fish and the basket so the fish doesn't stick. While it's grilling, make this great tapenade to go with it. Featured on our new Fall-Winter Menu, we are serving this dish with polenta, roasted green beens and an orange and radicchio salad. If you want to simplify your menu, grill the fish and make the tapenade, then throw some lightly oiled fresh bread on the bbq at the last minute and toss a salad. A delicious meal that's fun to make and so good for you!
Chop the parsley, capers, garlic cloves, and crushed red pepper together with a large pinch of salt. Transfer the paste to a small bowl and stir in the oil. Make 5 parallel 3-inch-long slashes on each side of the snapper, slicing almost through to the bone. Lightly season the fish with salt and fill the slashes with the paste. Rub the fish all over with more olive oil.
Light a grill and oil a grill basket that's large enough to hold the fish. Set the fish in the basket and grill over moderate heat, turning once, until the flesh just flakes with a fork, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Carefully remove the fish from the basket, transfer to a platter or baking sheet and tent with aliminum foil until ready to serve. While the fish is grilling, place all the ingredients for the tapenade in the bowl of a food processor. Process to combine, stopping to scrape down the sides until mixed well then season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, use 2 forks and lift the fillets off the bones. Discard bones, transfer to a serving platter and serve the fish with tapenade. Serves 4.

With beautiful fish counters at just about every supermarket, we have an abundant amount of seafood choices! It can be overwhelming and somewhat confusing about how to choose the right fish or fillet. Here are some tips on how to buy the freshest and most delicious fish for your next meal. If all this looks too much to remember, just remember one thing... smell the fish. It's the technique which I find easiest to do, it's very reliable and something that most who work behind the counters are willing to assist you in doing.

Here in LA, it just now starting to feel like fall. Finally!!!! Leaves are falling, the sun is tilting in the sky and it is feeling a little cooler in the mornings. We may even get some rain soon :). I'm always a bit melancholy about the coming cool weather. I'll miss the fruits and veggies of the summer and having dinner outside on the patio, however, we will continue to do lots of grilling because I'm putting in a new barbeque! Why now? Because no matter how low the temperature dips, it seems our guests love being around our grill. Maybe because it never really gets that cold here, but I also think being around the open flame just appeals to that primal fascination with fire. In saying goodbye to the summer and our summer menu, we get to say hello to our new fall menu! I'm very happy with this one. It's got some comfort food, some world cuisine, some really healthy options and decadent desserts!
